Davido, on the other hand, has stated that certain tracks from the 17-track album did not make the final cut.
Obviously, songs are eliminated for a variety of reasons, and there have been reports of entire albums being deleted.
During an interview with Beat FM, Davido was asked to name some of the artists he collaborated with on the Timeless album but whose tracks did not make the final cut. He named the artists and explained why.
Surprisingly, Davido had a song with Mayorkun, which is a duet people always love to see, but that didn’t end up on the album. He stated that one of the songwriters on that particular track was acting crazy and when he was ready to get down to business, it was too late.
In Davido’s words:
“…Ah! Many people o. They are even in my DM like “yo bro, I can’t wait”, I said “baba e no dey oh!” [laughs]. Uhmm, some cause of like paper work. Who did I work with? There’s a list I think, but shoutout to Fridayy. Me and Fridayy had an amazing record but uhmm, it wasn’t like – it was a Drake sample, but I called Drake and Drake cleared it for me, but then there were like other people that we couldn’t get to in time. So if I probably waited like one more week, I could have gotten it cleared, but I would just put that on the deluxe. Who else? Many people. It’s not even like the song no sweet oh, it just depends.
Like me and Mayorkun had a record, one of the writers on the record was just acting crazy. Then after, his head come fix back but it was too late. Uhmm, who else? Capella Grey from New York. Yeah, BLXST, me and BLXST have a record. Who else? In Naija? Me and Kizz have a whole album so we’re just keeping that for when we’re ready to do that. That’s really it. I think that’s everybody else apart from like producers.”
